For the Subject 1 test, you only need to bring your ID card. No other documents are required. You cannot take the driver's license test without an ID card, as identity verification is done by scanning the ID card during the exam. If your ID card is expired or lost, you should promptly apply for a temporary ID card at the local police station. A temporary ID card has the same legal validity as a regular ID card within its effective period. The total duration of the Subject 1 test is 45 minutes. The test consists of 100 questions, including true/false questions and multiple-choice questions, with a perfect score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The test questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations". The test content includes the most basic knowledge such as driving theory, road safety laws and regulations, traffic signals, traffic rules, as well as local regulations. The scheduling of the theoretical driver's test is arranged by the local vehicle management offices. Test procedure: Follow the staff's instructions and collect your driver training file in order at the waiting area; Carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off when entering the test area; No loud noise is allowed in the test area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed in the test area (or should be kept in your bag); After the test, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the test area; Candidates who pass the test should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit before leaving; Candidates who fail the test can leave the test area immediately and wait for the driving school staff to notify them of the retake time.

When I took the motorcycle theory test (Subject 1), I had to bring the original ID card—without it, you couldn't enter the exam room. The rules were strict. You also needed to prepare a one-inch color photo with a white background to stick on the exam form. If you forgot, there were photo booths at the entrance, but the queues wasted time and might cost more. Print the appointment notice and keep it in your pocket for quick verification on-site. My friend was late last time and ended up missing the exam slot, so I recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early to get familiar with the environment. The questions aren’t hard—just practice with an app beforehand, focusing on accident handling and traffic signs. For the vision test, wear glasses or contacts to read the charts clearly without mistakes. Don’t bring your phone inside; leave it at the storage area. After the test, get your score sheet stamped and keep it safe. The whole process takes under 30 minutes. Once you pass, you can focus on learning the road test.

After several rounds of exam coaching, I always bring everything needed: the original ID card must be valid; the appointment SMS or printed confirmation slip to verify the test center and time; two one-inch photos just in case. Leave early to avoid traffic jams, as long queues can easily cause panic. The ID card verifies identity, photos are attached to the exam form for record-keeping, and the notification slip confirms the appointment. It's advisable to review the latest traffic regulations, as sign questions and drunk driving penalties are frequently tested. During the vision test, stay alert to read numbers and symbols clearly. Maintain strict discipline in the test center—no noise, and take your time to select the correct answers. If you forget something in the rush, the exam desk might occasionally help, but chances are slim. After the exam, sign and collect the score report to proceed smoothly with the next step of driving practice. Remember, the basics are essential to avoid rework and delays in your learning progress.

I just took the written test (Subject 1) a few days ago—it's simple and straightforward. Just bring your original ID card (no copies needed); carry one 1-inch photo for the exam room (if forgotten, you can take one on-site, but it wastes time). Keep your appointment confirmation as an electronic copy on your phone or print it out and carry it with you. Arrive early to avoid rushing; review the questions on the practice app a few times beforehand for a higher pass rate. For the vision test, just read the symbols clearly—no need to stress. The test wraps up in about 30 minutes, and once passed, you can schedule the road test. A tip: bring some spare change for water or emergencies. The process is quick—don’t overthink it, passing is easier than you think.
